Hey guys, I just wanted to update you on what will be most likely the last Pre-SP2 AutoPatcher release.

I have finished compiling it, and the first Alpha is getting ready to be tested. I am testing it myself on a VMWare install right now, so once I approve it, the other testers will get it.

The file sizes are as follows (this is subject to change):

Full Size:? 275 MB

Update Size:? 34.7 MB

Lite Size:? 209 MB

UltraLite Size:? 97.7 MB

The current version4.6.23, for those of you wondering... and yes, it does have a different look/feel from the 4.5 builds.

I'm expecting final probably Wed or Thurs (remember, I have uploading to do)... also, the website (autopatcher.com) will be finally updated as well (been so busy I never got around to it).

I'll post the contents and change logs shortly... a quick list of files added since the last release:

Microsoft Autoplay Repair Wizard

Q823353 - Cumulative security update for Outlook Express

Q867801 - Cumulative security update for Internet Explorer

Q839643 - Vulnerability in DirectPlay could allow denial of service

Q839645 - A vulnerability in Windows Shell could allow remote code execution

Q840315 - Vulnerability in HTML Help could allow code execution

Q841873 - A vulnerability in Task Scheduler could allow code execution

And here's a list of things that were updated to newer versions (or fixed):

DirectX 9.0c

MSN Messenger 6.2.0137

Messenger Plus 3.01.94

IE Spy AD

Google Toolbar

Sun Java 1.4.2_05

Tweakomatic Shortcut

Classic Start Menu Tweak

Hope this gives everyone something to smile about... I want to apologize for taking so long with this release, I've spent most of my free time job hunting since my move, so I had to put the AP on the back burner.

I do have one question for you all... would you like to see the current version of AutoStreamer included in the AutoPatcher XP Full release? I was thinking of adding it, but I figured I'd ask you all what you think:) :)

Give me a holler about uploading as well Flish. Planning on a rebuild of the FTP server soon as the backup of some files finish. That will hopefully be done sometime today. Shouldn't take more than a couple of hours for the build tho.

Sweetness, will do. I just want to finish my "dry run" on my VMWare install first. ;)

Wait, so you'll be making a July release this month for SP1 users.... how about SP2 users? :D

When Raptor gets back, maybe... will be an Aug or Sept update, though. ;) Need him to play with the code, SP2 doesn't like AP as much after build 2162. :no: It runs, just has errors.

Hey Flish,

Just wanted to say that I used AutoStreamer last night for the first time after getting SP2 and I was as impressed with it as I was with when I used APXP for the first time. Tell Raptor and whomever else that worked on it that they did a fantastic job. I would really love to see it included with the next APXP release.

Also, I noticed on one of the other treads that someone suggested an "APXP Extras" (or something to that effect) which would include all the additional stuff besides the usual patches & updates, mainly since SP2 came out with a lot of the same stuff anyway. If this is possible to do then I would like to cast my vote for it as well. Although I haven't tried it, can you do this with APXP anyway & just uncheck the updates & patches? I did a clean install last night so I'll probably test it out tonight.

Later.

Let me know when you have an SP-2 update ready, I wouldn't mind hosting it on Shareaza for you, maybe on my local ftp server as well. Going to be about a week before I have the server back up though, doing updates on everything on it this week. Including installing SP-2 on it. I'll have the full RTM download there as well. Will post the link when it's up and running to the website.

I'll even post a link that is accessable through Shareaza for downloading on the Gnutella network.

I too would be interested, (as mentioned in another thread,) in having a post SP-2 release that only includes the Xtra's such as the ISORecorder, Powertoy's, etc. Since from what I have read on Microsoft's site, that their new patches will all have a "/integrate" function built into it, that should make any future updates to SP-2 really easy to apply. And should make Windows XP even easier to update in the future.

<cough>DB editor? :huh: </cough>

-E-

Not an official one... I need someone who knows XML and VB6 to help code one (any takers? ;)).

EDIT - Quick update, testing will begin tomorrow... had some minor problems with the Lite Edition, and then ended up having to help Maple cook dinner (we had Penne Con Tonno e Mozzerella and Gnocchi di Spinaci e Ricotta... all from scratch. Burnt my finger good frying the Gnocchi...:(). So, I'll work that all out tonight and tomorrow. (Y)

There seems to be a weird glitch in APXP. I'm making the AP2000 DB. It installs 50 items by default. And it says it should take less than a minute to install :wacko:

Dude, seriously, message me on MSN, I can help with ALL of that. :laugh:

Did you mean MSN Messenger 6.2.0137 and not MSN Messenger 6.2.013? Thanks and keep up the great work.

Yeah, my finger must have slipped and left it out. :pinch: Anyways, to let everyone know the status, I'm currently testing the newest release, and if approved, will go out to testers. It has a bit left, but I'll keep you posted. :)

I found one more hotfix 838989, it seems to be a USB2.0 update, I ripped it out of some Dell installers. I'll be on MSN so I can send it to you :)

BTW updates like 825116 and 839643 are not needed because DirectX 9.0c already has it included

Danke. (Y) I think I'll add that and make those changes and just upload the first beta tomorrow. :happy:

There were two Internet Explorer update releases in July.

KB867801 - end user Cumulative Patch for IE

KB871260 - corporate edition including additional hotfixes

Flish, I'd go for the second, not the first. I've deployed it to around 650 desktop PCs without any problems.
